Octonauts and the Baby Sea Turtles Octonauts

-SIREN WAILS

-'Octonauts, to your stations!'

Barnacles!

Kwazii!

Peso!

-Explore!

-Rescue!

-Protect!

Octonauts!

All right, settle in, everyone.

The vegimals have prepared hot chocolate.

-TUNIP CHATTERS

-And kelp cakes. Thanks, Tunip!

Thanks for the snacks. But what are we here to see?

-Quite an amazing sight, actually.

-And that is...?

Dashi set up remote cameras so we wouldn't miss a thing.

Shiver me whiskers - what won't we be missing?

Why, the baby sea turtles, of course.

Oh...carry on, matey.

Right now, the turtles are in their eggs

in nests buried under the sand.

TUNIP BURBLES

I'll show you how they got there, Tunip.

This is a video we took eight weeks ago.

The mother sea turtles

swim up onto the beach at night to lay their eggs.

It's the only time they ever leave the water.

This is the same beach right now - the eggs have been under the sand

all this time and should be ready to hatch any moment.

And we get to watch it happen - I can't wait!

Uh...nothing's happening, matey.

Well, one can never be exactly sure when the eggs will hatch.

It could be a few more minutes.

Or a few more days.

ALL: DAYS?!

TUNIP GASPS

Have patience, everyone. I'm sure it'll be well worth the wait.

SNORING

ALARM BLEEPS

-'Ey, wazzat?

-What is it?

Oh! Are the eggs hatching?

No - it's the Wave Tracker.

A really big wave is in the area.

It's moving fast and it's heading for the beach!

Flippity-flippers - what about the eggs?

-They'll be washed away!

-TUNIP SQUEALS

Won't they be safe, buried under the sand?

Sea turtle eggs are sensitive.

If they get too wet, they'll never hatch.

Then we better do something. Dashi, sound the Octo-alert.

-SIREN WAILS

-Octonauts, to the launch bay!

Octonauts, we have to rescue those eggs

before the wave hits the beach.

Once we've gathered them, we need to move them to a new beach, fast.

Don't worry, Shellington.

We'll be ready. Come on, Tunip.

TUNIP CHEERS

Everybody else, into the GUP-X.

We need to remove the turtle eggs from their nests

and place them in these special transport containers.

Please be careful - the eggs are very delicate

and extremely sensitive to hot or cold.

Ya - fussy little things, aren't they?

They are, Kwazii - if they get too hot or too cold, they won't hatch.

We'll be very careful.

The wave is moving in fast. We'd better hurry.

Octonauts, load those eggs.

-That's the last one, Captain.

-Good - the wave is almost here.

-Tweak, we're ready for the GUP-H.

-Roger that, Cap.

Here we come!

Lower tow lines, Tunip.

Roger-roger!

All right, Octonauts - hook them up!

Tweak, all lines are secure.

Thanks. We'll get those eggs to safety

faster than you can say bunchy-munchy-crunchy-pie!

Uh...hold on, Tweak.

Oh - good catch, Grouber. This one nearly got away from us.

There.

-Here comes the wave!

-Everyone into the GUP, now!

Brace yourselves...

WAVE ROARS

YELLING

Ah! Is everyone all right?

Just a little dizzy, Captain.

Ye-ow! And ready to go again.

The turtle eggs aren't out of danger yet.

We have to get them to a new beach right away. This one is too wet.

I think we may have found one, Shellington.

Sending you pictures now.

Ah! It seems to have everything the turtles need -

the right sand, the right slope and distance from the water.

Perfect! Tweak, send us the location

and we'll meet there to make new nests for the eggs.

Octonauts, let's do this!

Ah... I think that does it. The eggs are all safely under the sand.

Good work, Octonauts.

Ah - I suppose there's nothing left to do now

but wait for the eggs to watch.

Oh...more waiting!

I don't think we'll be waiting long, Kwazii - look.

PESO: They're hatching!

-That's wonderful.

-Maybe not. Sea turtle eggs hatch at night,

when there are few predators around to eat them.

This beach must be colder than their old beach,

making them think it's night.

Toitles!

-Wow!

-Amazing!

VEGIMALS CHATTER

-Wow - just wonderful.

-Look at 'em! Huh?

You're the little guy that almost got left behind. There you go.

Hey, put that back! I can do it myself!

Oh - sorry, matey! Just trying to help.

Thanks, but I don't need help -

we sea turtles got to do this on our own.

BIRD CRIES

SEAGULLS CAW

Uh-oh - I don't know what those things are,

but they sound hungry!

Got to go!

He's right - those seagulls would love to have

a baby sea turtle for a snack.

It's up to us to make sure the turtles make it to the water safely.

Vegimals, are there any fish biscuits in the GUP-X?

GROUBER CHOMPS

We'll need all your fish biscuits to keep the gulls distracted.

VEGIMALS CHANT

SEAGULL SHRIEKS

SEAGULLS SQUAWK

BRRRRR!

Yep, looks like the first turtles have reached the water.

Keep it up, everyone. We just have to keep these gulls busy

until all the baby turtles are in the ocean.

Huh?

Oh, mee-oh-my!

One of the baby turtles is going off course!

-Captain, it's your Octo-compass!

-Huh?

Baby turtles use light to find their way to the water.

The light bouncing off your compass must be confusing him.

Huh?

-Keep the gulls away from him.

-Ha-ha! Leave that to me, Captain!

Ye-ow!

Feeding time, gulls! Take the biscuit, go on! Ha!

Wah...whoo! Take that!

I'm sorry, little turtle. I didn't mean to confuse you.

Hm - there sure are a lot of not-turtles on this beach.

Oh! So, it's you again. Don't worry. I've got you, little matey.

Be careful, Kwazii. His shell's not fully hardened yet.

Then I'll call you Soft-shell.

Good name. But could you please put me down?

I want to get to the water all by myself.

That's what we turtles do.

There you go, Soft-shell. Just a little further.

Thanks! Now, no more helping me. I'm almost...

SEAGULL SHRIEKS Aaarrrgggh!

Oh, no, you don't!

Huh... Ha!

Captain, that seagull's getting away with Soft-shell.

Tweak, follow that bird.

We're hot on his tail feathers, Captain.

If I'd known this was going to happen, I'd have stayed in my egg.

TUNIP CHATTERS

Tunip! What are you...?

Oh! I get it.

Ah-ha!

Argh!

TUNIP EXCLAIMS

Gotcha!

SEAGULL CAWS

Soft-shell - you're OK!

Take me to the water's edge, please, exactly where I left off.

TUNIP BURBLES

There! I did it, all by myself. Well almost. Thanks, Octonauts!

-See you later, little guy!

-Bye-bye!

-Congratulations!

-Good luck!

Nice work today, Octonauts.

Those baby sea turtles are off to a good start.

So what happens to them now, Shellington?

Well, they'll swim far out to sea and get bigger and bigger,

until it's time for them to return to this very beach

and lay eggs of their own.

How long does that take?

Um...About 15 to 20 years.

Ye-ow! That's a long time to wait!

GROUBER MUTTERS

Sorry, Grouber.

I don't think we've enough fish biscuits to last that long!

THEY LAUGH
